Whether you want to find a restaurant near you or a local handyman, we all turn to Google for answers. You have landed in the right place if you want to build an agricultural building, a post-frame home, or a hobby barn. Regarding this purchase, it is not the $50 you would spend at a local Mexican restaurant or a couple hundred dollar handyman bill. A pole barn could be a $30,000-$300,000 investment. And with that, you need to understand what post-frame builders are in your area, what they will offer you, and what all your pole barn quote will entail. When it comes to pole barn builders, they are not always an apples-to-apples comparison. You need to consider eight factors when it comes to post-frame builders. In this blog, we will list the top builders in Kentucky and how they compare.

My husband and I eventually bought a house in town, but we still dream of buying 10 acres of timber and putting up a pole building. Today, our dream has shifted towards a shouse we would use as a hunting cabin, workshop, and storage. Since working at FBi Buildings, I have learned a lot about pole barns and how they often are not a cheaper solution for residential living when compared to a traditional home.
